Much of the excitment I get from "railfanning" involves the "human" equation. I'm all grown up, but I still wave at every train crew of every train that I'm lucky enough to experience. I hate to say it, but the day human beings are no longer a part of the trains is the day I might start turning my back on the trains. <br />Sometimes so-called "progress and efficiency" exact a greater toll on us than we notice at the moment, and its only farther down the line we realize that in our earlier haste we might have lost something more important to our humanity. Is the end purpose of most technology in the workplace to reduce humans to mere spectators, void of skills and craftsmanship, who simply push buttons? This series of fine articles in September TRAINS reminds me of the TWILIGHT ZONE episode in which foundry owner Mr. Wipple automated the entire factory, putting hundreds of men out of work, until the machines put him out on the street. <br />I just hope I'm gone from this "place of no common sense" before No Man Trains start rolling down the tracks.
